Boise State could be on this list every single week as they go through their season. It seems as though the Broncos get everyone’s best shot in the Mountain West and there are interesting matchups that the Broncos have to get past week after week. This week is no different as they head in Provo, Utah to take on the BYU Cougars.

Although this could be a really tough game for the Broncos trying to get past a feisty BYU team, the Cougars are banged up and their star quarterback is out this week. BYU is also coming off a road loss to USF where they struggled to move the ball and protect their quarterback as well.

The Broncos are on upset alert because this game comes up every year and has turned into a great rivalry. Mixing this in with the Broncos having to play on the road in front of 65,000, things could get weird in Provo. Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier is also doubtful to play on Saturday so we might see a backup quarterback in for the Broncos.
